Chapter 41: Approaching the Source (1)
After all, this is not a long-term solution.
Mu Ling pondered a way out. The area of the study is about thirty square meters, and if you retreat in one direction, you can quickly touch the wall, not to mention that this room is not empty, how can so many furnishings disappear at once. Unless she is no longer in the study, but in the world created by Jiang Xiaoshi. Although this can be explained, Mu Ling doesn't think it's that simple.
How long did Jiang Xiaoshi die? It's only half a day, and in such a short period of time, he has been in this study all the time, and he hasn't even seen anyone. Naturally, there is no way to devour the soul to increase its strength, and in addition, even most of the body and soul have been taken by that unknown evil spirit. After all, Jiang Xiaoshi is now just a crippled evil spirit, a control puppet of that unknown evil spirit. It didn't take long, and Mu Ling didn't think that Jiang Xiaoshi had any great ability.
If Jiang Xiaoshi was really so powerful, when they fell into the trap to check the computer just now, they could be killed directly, and after a few battles, the attack was not painful and easy to deal with.
It's just that it's not an option to be delayed like this. Jiang Xiaoshi's headless body is just a cover played by that evil spirit, and even if it is solved by the spirit releaser, I am afraid it will have no effect. And tonight there will be people sleepwalking and killing themselves! Mu Ling never claimed to be a savior, but he didn't want to see anyone die.
And...... Scarlet Feather is also a reason, although there are medical personnel on Scarlet Night's side, but it is difficult to ensure that if you are negligent, Scarlet Night will become the next victim. More than ten days have passed, and most of the people who experienced the accident have died. Mu Ling didn't know how many were left, but the chances of the Scarlet Feather siblings' turn became great. If Scarlet Night dies...... Scarlet Feather must be very sad, Mu Ling doesn't want to see that scene, and she doesn't want Scarlet Feather to die.
Regardless, Scarlet Feather is her only friend!
Thinking like this, Mu Ling's waist sank, and with a flick of the kitchen knife in her hand, she threw it forward, and then she took the kitchen knife from her body and threw it quickly. Mu Ling brought a total of four kitchen knives, threw two and now there are two, she took them all in her hands, and rushed out, two kitchen knives in front, Mu Ling followed closely.
As Mu Ling imagined, the kitchen knife thrown out moved straight forward, unaffected, and the black fog in front of him was dispersed through the past, revealing two hollows, the moonlight came through, Mu Ling saw the surroundings clearly, and sure enough, she was still standing still. The black mist seems to have the function of interfering with the five senses, misleading Mu Ling into thinking that he is moving backwards, but in fact he is spinning in circles; The darkness caused by the black fog closed the vision and obscured the transmission of sounds, making the two think they were separated, causing them to panic.
They were still in the study.
In fact, as long as this one thing is confirmed, Mu Ling will settle down. Scarlet Feather must be in the study, and Jiang Xiaoshi shouldn't have the strength to deal with her.
Thinking like this, Mu Ling was completely relieved. Devote yourself wholeheartedly to the battle in front of you. The void opened up by the kitchen knife was quickly filled, much faster than at the beginning, and Jiang Xiaoshi began to adapt to the power of the evil spirit. Mu Ling naturally wouldn't give Jiang Xiaoshi any chance, the black mist would be completely closed, and he would play a role again, returning to the previous completely passive situation.
With a wave of the double blades in his hand, Mu Ling quickly broke through the defense line of the black fog and came to the front of Jiang Xiaoshi's only remaining head, at this time the black fog was only one step away from completely closing, and at the critical moment, Mu Ling threw out the kitchen knife in his hand again, and in this delayed time, Mu Ling's last kitchen knife slashed Jiang Xiaoshi's vital point and cut off half of his chin.
Jiang Xiaoshi's head flew out and rolled to the ground, and the black mist sucked back from the broken hole in his neck in an instant, like a whale swallowing a siphon, and in the blink of an eye, the room returned to a normal scene.
The window seemed to have been hit by a kitchen knife thrown by Mu Ling, shattering the glass on the ground. It's so late, there shouldn't be anyone wandering downstairs, otherwise the kitchen knives and glass falling out of the window ......
Mu Ling walked to the front of the severed head, although his face was stiff, but there was no fear. She lifted the kitchen knife in her hand and stabbed it hard, this time without almost any resistance, and the blade pierced through the target without pause. Jiang Xiaoshi's head was completely motionless, and those black mist surged down the wound onto Mu Ling's arm. But this time, the terrifying afterimage did not appear, such a mutilated evil spirit was too weak.
It wasn't until this moment that Mu Ling was completely relieved, she put away the kitchen knife and went to find Scarlet Feather's figure. However, Scarlet Feather was not in the study, and Mu Ling looked at the door, which had been opened, and was swaying slightly with the wind flowing through the window.
"Feather?"
Mu Ling shouted, but did not get the expected answer, and a bad premonition rose in her heart, she walked towards the door and walked quickly out of the study. As soon as Mu Ling stepped out of the door, he felt a chill rushing in, and there was a faint smell of blood. Mu Ling was very familiar with this smell, she looked down and immediately found the source,
There was fresh blood on the floor, and Mu Ling dipped his fingers in it, but it was not completely solidified.
It's the blood of Scarlet Feathers! Mu Ling panicked and walked all the way to the living room along the bloodstains, and the sight unfolding in front of her made her dizzy.
There was a corpse lying on the ground in the center of the living room, and the reason for this determination was that the red color of the place covered a large area of the ground. That kind of bleeding is fatal to humans. It was a female corpse, the same size as Scarlet Feather, and the same clothes on its body, except that her hair was messily scattered, covering her face.
"Feather?"
Mu Ling's lips opened slightly, she didn't notice it herself, her voice trembled a little. Mu Ling couldn't believe it, she leaned closer, wanting to be more sure, and when she touched the corpse and wanted to pull her hair away to check it, she jerked back. It's too cold to touch with your fingertips! If it is a person who has just died, it is impossible not to have even a little body temperature.
That's not Scarlet Feather!
Coming to a conclusion, Mu Ling calmed down, but his voice couldn't help but be angry, and he actually asked the corpse who couldn't reply: "Where is Yu?" Of course, no answer was received, and the body remained motionless, causing the living room to be extremely quiet.
It's not a sign of security, on the contrary, it's more terrifying than the calm that preceded the storm.
No one knew when the corpse would attack, or if it was just a façade for the real Mulin to polish his fangs in the dark. Mu Ling can't predict what will happen in the future, all she can do is to maintain a state where she can face everything no matter what happens.
She grasped the hilt of the knife, her muscles relaxing slightly, and she took a step towards the corpse lying on the ground as she watched her surroundings watch her surroundings.
